6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I; send me. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate. 12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land .13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten; as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.

Ezekiel 6: 7-14

7 And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 8 Yet will I leave a remnant that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. 9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. 10 And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil into them. 11 Thus saith the LORD GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for a the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. 12 He that is far off shall die by the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them. 13 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon ever high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under ever thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols. 14 So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

God’s Word is eternal and cannot be destroyed nor changed. We saw in the book of Jeremiah where the prophet was commanded by God to write His words on a roll of paper of the coming judgements upon Israel, Judah and all the nations if they had refused to repent and return to the true and living God.

Jeremiah’s scribe Baruch wrote down all the words the Lord filled the prophet’s mouth with on the roll for at that time the prophet was shut up (imprisoned) in the king’s court and couldn’t go down to the house of the Lord to deliver the imminent message from the Lord, so he requested Baruch to go and he obeyed. {See verses 5-8}

Baruch went and read the words of the Lord’s prophecies before Gemariah the son of Shaphan in the house of the Lord before all the people that were gathered there on the fasting day.

Upon reading it Michaiah the son of Gemeriah requested him to bring the book that he read from unto the princes so that he can read it unto them. {See verses 11-15}

After he read it they got afraid and vowed to go tell the king.

They then enquired how he wrote the words and Baruch explained it to them as seen in verse 18 above.

The princes then told Baruch for him and the prophet to go and hide and let no man know where they be, from the hands of death that were upon them at that moment but the greater hand of the Lord was upon them that delivered them from the hands of their enemies.

The princes went in unto the king without the words of the Lord in their hand but from in their heart as they told it to him. I can tell that they were sore afraid. The king probably didn’t believe them, so that’s why he sent Jehudi to bring the roll from out of the chamber of Elishama; where the princes had placed it. {See verses 19-21}

When Jehudi began reading the words to him he took a penknife and sliced the pages into pieces and casted them into the fire as it consumed all the words of the Lord. {verses 22-23} This was a very disrespectful and petty reaction of the king. Due to that behavior it shows that he was convicted by the truth that he didn’t displayed from the outside but inwardly he was afraid. The others that stood with him were afraid inwardly too I’m sure although they didn’t show it outwardly. {verse 24}

The king disobeyed the command Elnathan, Delaiah & Gemariah gave him not to burn the scroll in {verse 25} We see pride here and also the hardness of his heart.

He ordered some of his men to get rid of Baruch and Jeremiah but God hid them. {verse 25} This made things worse for the house of Israel and Judah as it already was.

We saw in the ending verses where God commanded his prophet to go and take another roll and write the same words He told him to write before and where we saw the king’s fatal punishment was added to it.

You see, none can’t change God’s word nor destroy it. It’s eternal. What He says goes and no one can stop His will from being fulfilled. In this world there are many nowadays Jehoiakim’s that is trying to expel God’s holy laws for it testify of their sins and the sins of the nations, for it’s the ONLY truth that can set all free. But sadly they’ll be very unsuccessful and will be judged justly by God if they don’t repent from their wickedness; for none can destroy His eternal words of life and salvation. Glory to God! ❤ Thank you Jesus! 😀

1 Hear ye the word of which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with sliver and gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go, Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.

Jeremiah 10:7

7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

Jeremiah 10: 10-15

10 But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 11 Thus shall ye say to them, the gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightenings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. 14 Every brutish man in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. 15 They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.

Jeremiah 10: 18-19

18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them that they may find it so. 19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous; but I said, Truly this is grief, and I must bear it.

Jeremiah 10:21

21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

The nations are becoming desolate by His right hand of righteous judgement because of sin. Look! He’s cleaning the nations for His righteousness sakes. All glory to the King of glory forever! Repent ye citizen’s of the nations.
